WTF Is The Raddest?

The Raddest is a site dedicated to all things that are rad. Why isn’t it called The Coolest or The Awesomest? I’m not sure. (But please have at creating either of those destinations. I think they’re great names, too.) I chose The Raddest because I like the word “rad.” Yes, I like the 1986 BMX movie Rad, starring Bill Allen as Cru Jones (and some amazing appearances by disgraced parent and Full House star Lori Laughlin, Olympian Bart Connor, and Oscar nominee and Jason Schwartzman’s mom, Talia Shire). But I also like the word rad in both its literal and figurative definitions. If something is rad, that says a lot. And anything can be rad. I created this site to showcase the best in style, gear, and cars. But I also didn’t want to limit it to just another gear blog. For starters, there’s plenty of those. Secondly, I think that The Raddest can apply to so many more aspects of culture, whether that’s sports, art, or literature. Hopefully, you think what I think is The Raddest is rad, too. If not, be sure to drop me a note and let me know what you think is rad.

Best,
